What's the worst fall you've had? - Page 3

phlegm · 2006-04-21, 03:53 PM

I broke my collar bone on my mountain bike, or rather off my bike.

On a uni, the worst fall was when learning to ride backwards I landed flat on my back and smashed my helmet into two pieces. I wasn't hurt though, aside from a small scratch on my arm.

Other than minor scrapes and bruises, the worst injuries I've sustained from unicycling are a sprained ankle and a bruised ulnar nerve (aka funny bone). The ulnar nerve connects directly to the pinky and half of the ring finger, so for a couple months now I've had tingling in both. The tingling was really intense at first and hard to type, but I think it's slowly getting better. The doctor has me wearing a brace to keep it straight at night and taking vitamin b6 which is good for nerve health.

I'm guessing the most embarrassing part is the avatar. I think it's an outstanding choice.

Three weeks ago in Santa Barbara, tire got lodged in a V between two rocks and I few off and bashed my leg/knee. I was riding with a DH mountain biker friend who said he felt the earth shake when I hit (a rock slab). Even with the full shin gurads on my knee got so worked I couldn't walk for two days and only started riding hard again this week, which blows because I lost all my fitness base. It seems like one of our group is always down--Hans just came back after missing a month with an ankle tweak. I've also broken my thumb and gotten about 10,000 bruises.

Its now unicycle 2 Harley 0.
Sprained an ankle about 3 weeks ago and am now sporting a new cast for a broken wrist courtesy of a set of Welgo's that wouldn't let go.
Oh well stuff happens. Hope everyone heals up fast and is able to get back out there and continues to have fun.

Oh the worst fall I've ever had. It happened today.
I was in Box Hill with Adrian and we both had the biggest falls of our unicycling lifetime.

Mine, was going down a massive Xtreme stair set. I misplaced my feet and went tumbling down.

Adrians, he was crank grabbing a big ledge, went to rubber, then hit the ledge with his wheel and landed flat on his ass.

I'll try to post some pictures of the Xtreme stair set and the massive ledge.

mawesome · 2006-04-23, 08:43 AM

Not sure exactly how to post a picture....but here's the stair set.

Notice the Xtremety of the stairs.
